Where music comes from – Franz Kafka QUOTES FOR WRITERS (and people who like quotes)
Everything that lives is in flux. Everything that lives emits sound. But we only perceive a part of it. We do not hear the circulation of the blood, the growth and decay of our bodily tissue, the sound of our chemical processes. But our delicate organic cells, the fibres of brain and nerves and skin are impregnated with these inaudible sounds. They vibrate in response to their environment. This is the foundation of the power of music.

Oh my goodness. This is magnificent.

Yes I did. Magnificent, indeed!

According to string theory, the universe is composed of vibrating strings. Music and the universe are one. The question is whether or not the strings harmonize.
Here is Kafka’s take: (a man, who placed his characters into an alien and disharmonious universe, and still finds a place for the elegance of music.)
Thanks to Bridget Whelan.
Glad you like it Philip
